Cauliflower Steaks with Kefir Lime Sauce

Purple Cauliflower Steaks – photo courtesy and recipe adapted from Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
I went to the regular grocery store, not even a specialty store like Whole Foods, but H-E-B and Tom Thumb (called Safeway in other cities) and I saw such a variety of new foods on grocery shelves, including purple vegetables.

Purple cauliflower, purple asparagus, purple carrots, they’re beautiful and delicious! Other foods that are becoming mainstream are plant based proteins – think vegan bacon and charcuterie and slow fermented bread like tangy sourdough. We are learning more about where our food comes from and our curiosity for exotic flavors and foods is growing. Here are some of the trends I am seeing and loving in my kitchen right now.
